Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Sunday brings the Gameweek to a close with a trio of matches featuring an array of Fantasy talent. Things get rolling with a pair of lunchtime kick-offs, as Villa host United and Swansea make the trip to Carrow Road to face Chris Hughton’s Norwich. That’s followed by the headline act, as Andre Villas-Boas looks to continue the Spurs revival against a Liverpool unit weakened by a string of injuries.

While the press will be focused on David Moyes, Fantasy managers will be more interested in Wayne Rooney’s performance. With a potential absence for Sergio Aguero looming, the United striker could make himself “essential” over the Christmas period if he can produce in the midlands. With Michu expected to earn a run-out at Norwich, we’ll have the opportunity to assess whether he can join both David Silva and Theo Walcott on our midfield Christmas list, while at 4pm, all eyes will be on Luis Suarez as he looks to overcome the absence of skipper Steven Gerrard and strike partner Daniel Sturridge against the Spurs back four.

Look to our Twitter feed for the latest teamsheet bulletins, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain available throughout today’s three fixtures.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        Many FPL managers also think defensive midfielders are worse players because of point tallies

          Rooney isn't playing as deep as people are making out. He's not a CDM and he's not as deep as Cleverley/Giggs at CM. Definitely still a CAM and had a big chance in the box just now that whistled wide of the post.

          He's just deeper than he was.

            I think its due to it being an away game

            It worrying if he plays deeper v hammers at home though

              Partly, think the big factor is RVP out. He could do one of two things, make Rooney lone striker or make up for the loss of creativity by moving him into midfield... we got the latter...

                Although I suppose RVP was out before this so yeah it might be the away game.
